New technologies are improving device deliverability and rates of recanalization. We describe 2 cases of acute middle cerebral artery occlusions wherein Wingspan stents could not be delivered to the occlusive site because of excessive vascular tortuosity. Merci thrombectomy was also unsuccessful. Revascularization was only achieved with deployment of the highly navigable Enterprise stent, resulting in thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 2/3 flow. Thus, all devices should be considered in the armamentarium of stroke therapy. | Source Title: | American Journal of Neuroradiology | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/183924 | ISSN: | 0195-6108 | DOI: | 10.3174/ajnr.A1221 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
